With the world going in and out of lockdowns, equipment availability is ever-changing. Additionally, delivering Group Training Programs, different members may have differing Equipment Availability, Personal Preferences & Levels Of Skill

The ability to program a primary exercise, with additional options that a trainer can program/recommend as an appropriate variation/substitute... this would work wonders in creating a highly adaptable program for the member's experience

I currently work around this issue by "Supersetting" exercise options based on equipment availability together for each movement pattern into movement-type categories with written explainers to help provide more information & variety with exercise selection for group coaching

My members then have to manually edit the workouts each session to remove the variations they're not doing... which is far from ideal and requires me to program dozens of exercises into the editor, which looks a little messy.

Being able to simply have a button to press that can easily swap between the primary exercise & recommended substitutes (with their own exercise notes) would be an absolute game-changer for an adaptable programming experience

VOTE FOR THIS, I BLOODY DARE YA 😍🤘🏻

Hmmm...every time I search, it gives me the most similar exercises at the top of the list. From what I see, this feature exists

Thank you for submitting this idea!! I think it very darn time I use the app. So many wasted minutes searching for exercises or machines we don’t have at Biltmore AZ

Yes! This gets super annoying when trying to substitute an exercise in my trainer's plan

Would definitely like a program of all body weight exercises combined with mobility.

fitbod app does a really great job of this. I actually use it to guide my replacement exercise when I need to

Currently, the more detail you add in the search bar the more exercises populate in results, making it harder to find a specific exercise.

Recommend adding binary search functionality (and, or) to refine or broaden results as desired. As it is today, it uses "or" by default.

Need some changes in excercise

Definitely more alternative exercises for home gyms with limited equipment.

Show different and specific options for exercises in case of limitations to do previous or current injury ‘ age, athletic ability, etc. Each option should correspond directly to working the same muscle group. There shouldn’t be a long and confusing list. Show easier and harder modifications. Thank you.

Yes. Some of us are older and even a squat may be difficult. I know how to adapt most of the workouts for myself, but some people may not know they are allowed to not go so low or to use support if needed. A lot of workouts are geared for younger people so adaptations for the older crowd would be helpful because, if you’re 60 and trying to keep up with a 25-30 year old performing the exercises, you want to quit since you can’t keep up. It takes us older folks twice as long to get back into shape.

Currently the substitute button pulls up a variety of exercises. I would suggest that you limit this function to only display exercises that would work the same general muscle group. I.e. if I am trying to substitute a glute ham raise dont allow bicep curls to display when I want to substitute.

especially stuff like yoga or rock climbing or trail running!

Cool

It would be so nice to have the progression of each exercise especially for the moves that don't involve machines... For instance dead bug heel taps progress to leg lifts progress to I don't know what. So if we find we're getting stronger we know what the next level move is... Or if we can't quite do the move we can adjust down a level, but be working towards being able to do the more advanced moves.

Alternative home workouts would be great, for when we don’t have certain equipment to use.

Also for at home. Some exercises cause me pain so I’ve been having to modify them myself.

Even with the search feature it takes forever to find a substitute....would be easier if you could also search by category

When swapping moves it would be nice to have a filter option to separate exercises by muscle group. So if I can’t do jump squats because of injury I can pick from a list of movements that I could substitute due to limited mobility rather than. Searching just by movement name because so many movements have multiple names

More hiit
Weights with more lying down
